Semester 2

Pre-Exam Strategies!
In the last 3 weeks we will work on past papers with the aim of completing a complete set of mock exams during class time. If you are absent on the mock exam days there will be no time for you to make up this mark. Your final semester mark will be lowered accordingly. You should consider these mock exams to be as important as the final exams. They are ALL in class time therefore it should not be a problem for you to attend.

  • Past paper exam questions on Area of Impact Business and Employment (prepare over break)
